Thomas Chandler, Justin Byus' best friend, lived with the couple at the home for two months and said he wants everyone to know more about their relationship.

The couple was only married for a few months before Cathy Byus' parents were killed. Chandler said that did put some strain on their marriage, but that he never would have expected Thursday's outcome.

"It's a terrible loss on both parts," said Chandler. "I was friends with both of them and the pain is unimaginable. I mean it's still shell shock. I mean with everything that they've gone through this is just another bump in the road that the family didn't need."

Chandler said that despite reports of a rocky relationship, Justin Byus was deeply in love with his wife.

"He loved her to death, and he loved that baby. He wanted nothing more than to become a better person for her. He never once suggested to me that he had an ounce of hatred towards her," said Chandler.

Chandler said Cathy Byus had a generous and fun-loving spirit.

"Cathy was just a big goofball. She loved Hello Kitty. I mean just just a natural good person," he said. "Justin, man he's just like a big old kid man. He was just this bundle of joy, fun, I mean. He just loved to laugh."

Chandler was the last person to speak to Justin Byus before he was arrested. He said he is still in disbelief.

"If you were to ask me right now even after all was said and done if this would happen I'd say no," said Chandler.
